How to use this manual

The windows in this reference are meant to simulate the windows

that appear on your PC UI screen. Use this reference to find

information on the function of a particular window, or the type of

information that should be entered in a field.

To locate information on a particular window, look up the name of the

window (upper left corner of window) in either the table of contents of

the index.

Underneath each figure is a description of the window functions, as

well as the parameters that are displayed in the window, and any

notes or hints that relate to the task.

Conventions and symbols

The following conventions are used in this manual:

• Icons for warnings, cautions, and so on.

• The names of keys on the PC UI are depicted inside angle

brackets and capitalized, for example, the <ALT> key.

Figure headings

A numbered figure heading above each window shows the name of

the window and the pathway to get to that window.

Figure 1-2. Disks>Reallocate>Print File Data window

For example, in the figure heading above, the name of the displayed

window is the Print File Data window. If your PC UI was at the

desktop window, to get to the Print File Data window you would first

select the Disks icon, then select the Reallocate option, and finally

the Print File Data option. To return to the PC UI desktop, you would

close all open windows.

Defaults

If you do not specify an option or value, one may automatically be

selected by the PCUI software. This automatically-selected option is

the default. In this manual, where applicable, system defaults are

underlined

.

For example:

Device: All Disks

, DP0, DP1, DP2, DP3, TD0, TD1, TD2.

Select/enter the system disk or tape reference.

In this example, unless you specify another system disk or tape

device, the system will automatically default to the All Disks

option.

INTRODUCTION

XEROX DOCUPRINT 180 LPS PC USER INTERFACE REFERENCE xv

File ID and masking

The terms "file-id" or "file ID" refer to the form "file-name.file-type"

where "file-name" is a 1-6 character file name, and "file-type" is the

directory under which the file-name is cataloged.

When specifying the file-id, an asterisk (*) or question mark (?) can

be used as a wildcard or string lookup for the file-name. This is often

referred to as masking. Masking eliminates the need for you to

repetitively key in various file names that contain the same string of

characters.

When the file-name ends with an asterisk, all file-names beginning

with the same characters that precede the asterisk are displayed. For

example:

FILE ABC*.FNT

The example above specifies that all file-names beginning with ABC

of the file-type FNT be displayed.

When a file-name contains a question mark, only the specified

characters of file-type FNT and the position(s) occupied by the

questions mark(s) affect the file-names to be displayed. For example:

FILE AB??.FNT

The above example specifies that all file-names beginning with AB

that are 2, 3, or 4 characters long of file-type FNT be displayed.

1. 1Using the PC UI

This chapter explains the PC UI in detail. If your LPS has the system

controller keyboard/display rather than the PC UI, refer to the

DocuPrint 180 Operator Guide

, appendix C, “Using the system

controller keyboard/display.”

PC UI

With the PC UI you perform operator tasks through a dynamic set of

windows. Either a mouse or certain keyboard combinations are used

to move between windows and select options. The PC UI also allows

you to enter commands through a window on the display screen.

5 Mouse tray. An optional extension module attached to the

system controller to accommodate the mouse pad and

provide ample working space.

Powering on the PC UI

Note: The switches described for the PC UI may not be in the

positions shown because of the different PC UIs. Refer to your PC UI

documentation for the locations.

Figure 1-2. Power switch on the PC UI

1 Set it to ON (1).

Figure 1-3. Power button on the PC UI monitor

1 Power on the PC UI monitor by pressing the Power button

on the front bottom of the monitor.

Some information appears on the screen as the PC UI starts. Next,

the Wait cursor appears (refer to the “Types of cursors” section later

in this chapter). Next, you see the screen depicted in figure 1-4.

USING THE PC UI

The next screen is the desktop. Refer to the “Desktop” section later

in this chapter.

Adjusting the PC UI monitor

You can adjust both the brightness and contrast of the PC UI monitor.

monitor

to increase the contrast of the monitor display.

USING THE PC UI

Components of the PC UI

The following sections explain the components of the PC UI in detail.

PC UI keyboard

The PC UI keyboard allows you to enter text and perform tasks.

Figure 1-6. PC UI keyboard

The PC UI keyboard contains the following:

• Character keys. These keys are used to enter text in the

Command Line/Message window or input fields of windows.

• The front face of certain character keys have multinational

characters on them. These are language-specific characters

(such as £) or mathematic symbols (such as + or 3/4). To

generate a multinational character, press and hold the <ALT>

key while pressing the desired character key. For example,

<ALT> + <P>=1/4.

• Arrow keys. These keys are used in place of the mouse to

move the cursor around the desktop.

• Function keys. These keys perform functions as follows

— F1. Stop printing

— F2. Continue printing

—F3. Sample

— F4. Clear Faults

— F5. Jobs status display

— F6. Printer status display

— F7. Start window

— F8. Messages window

— F9. Apply/Close
